Of course, Zhang Qiang really wanted to study all three volumes of "Book from Heaven". It's just that the so-called "greedy and chewy", even a peerless master like the "great sage and good teacher" Zhang Jiao is only proficient in a volume of "Book from Heaven" in his lifetime.

Although Zhang Qi thinks very highly of himself, he never dares to think that his Taoist cultivation can be compared with the "great sage and good teacher".

Moreover, there is an unknown saying that there is a faint mutual exclusion between these three volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book". If one volume of the Book of Heaven is learned, it is impossible to learn the other two volumes.

Don't you see, the "Great Sage and Good Master" cultivated the volume of "Heaven" ten years ago, but he didn't cultivate the other two volumes of "Book of Heaven"?

"My nephew doesn't know anything, so I ask my uncle to teach me."

Zhang Qian couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he simply asked Zhang Jiao for advice.

"Three volumes of heavenly books, each with its own strengths. If you want to take charge of the Dao system, you may wish to study the scroll of Heaven. If you want to run rampant in the world, choose the volume of "Earth" ......"

Zhang Qiang waited for Zhang Jiao to pause, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help asking:

"If my nephew wants to divide a land, establish a deep foundation, slowly forge ahead, and then annex the world, which volume should he choose?"

"That's the volume of "People", of course!"

After that, Zhang Jiao didn't know when he suddenly had an extra silk book in his hand and handed it to Zhang Jiao:

"This volume of "People", after all, it is still up to you to cultivate!"

At this moment, Zhang Qiang did not hesitate, took the silk book, bowed his head, and shouted loudly:

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zhang Jiao seemed to have a big deal, and casually sent a treasure knife, and said with a slight smile:

"This seven-star treasure knife, called 'Tianshu', is the head of the seven swords."

"When I invited Jizhou master craftsmen to cast this 'Seven Star Treasure Knife', I suddenly got the 'Apocalypse', saying: 'Seven Star Society, the Han Dynasty is destroyed'."

"I was overjoyed, so I handed over these seven treasure swords to the seven masters in the Dao as personal swords."

"Originally, I thought that when my Dao got into trouble, the eight states responded, gathered together, and attacked Luoyang, just seven people converged and responded to this proverb."

"But unexpectedly, my most trusted disciple Tang Zhou actually thought that the incident would hurt the heavens and peace, and would ambush millions of corpses and disturb the world, so he decided not to obey. For this reason, Tang Zhou returned this 'Tianshu' to me, and then abolished the meridians and withdrew from the Taiping Dao. ”

Soon after, it was reported that Tang Zhou had surrendered. And my plan for an uprising has also become 'ready to fly, and I have to send it'. ”

"Now, Yiyuan, Bocai, Mancheng, and Bu Ji have died, and the 'Seven Star Treasure Sword' has also disappeared, and many of them have become the saber of the Han ministers. Mowgli, this 'Heavenly Pivot' is now taught to you. ”

"The 'Seven Star Treasure Sword' naturally can't gather in Luoyang now. However, I firmly believe that one day, when the seven 'Seven Star Swords' come together, it will be the time when the Han family will be overthrown! ”

After speaking, Zhang Jiao ignored the somewhat stunned arrogance and floated away. When his figure disappeared from the front hall, only one ethereal sentence remained:

"Don't live up to my hopes!"

At this meeting, Zhang Jiao was confused, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Jiao was selling in the gourd. Looking at the silk book in his hand that recorded the volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" and "People", he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Mowgli, come with me."

As soon as Zhang Qiang's eyes flickered, a figure suddenly appeared. After seeing who the comer was, Zhang Qiang forcibly held down the body reaction of drawing the sword, and silently left with the comer.

It's Zhang Bao.

Zhang Hao didn't know why Zhang Jiao left suddenly, but Zhang Bao knew that this was because the eldest brother was attacked by the Heavenly Dao and felt unwell. Since a few days ago, the Taiping True Qi in Zhang Jiao's body has often been restless and difficult to control. All this shows that the lifespan of the eldest brother Zhang Jiao will not be too long.

Of course, Zhang Bao will not tell anyone about these secrets that damage Zhang Jiao's image, including Zhang Jiao. As the leader and banner of the entire Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao must maintain his glorious image. As Zhang Bao walked, he said to Zhang Qiang:

"Since you have a master to guide you and let you seek good fortune and avoid evil, your subordinates can decide what to do at their own discretion and are not subject to the constraints of the 'General Rengong'. Three days later, you come here again, and my eldest brother and I will see you off. ”

To be honest, Zhang Qi is not too clear about the meaning of the various things he encountered during his stay in the Yellow Turban Army camp in Jizhou. There is only one thing he can be sure of:

Anyway, not a bad thing!

- However, it seems that the position of Zhang Jiao's heir will not fall on his head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang sighed slightly in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.

"The road ahead depends on how you go."

Zhang Bao sighed in his heart, but his voice remained the same.

"Tomorrow, I will deliver a batch of 'baggage' to you, I hope you will use it well after you get it, and don't waste it indiscriminately."

"No!"

-- What kind of 'baggage' needs to be personally instructed by Zhang Bao, who is the "general of the earth"?

In my arrogant heart, I was very curious. He knew that Zhang Bao was responsible for taking care of the baggage supplies of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, and the materials and goods that were handed over every day were calculated in millions of dollars. The "baggage" that can be specially told by Zhang Bao must not be an ordinary thing.

――It must be a good thing......

When Zhang Mad checked the ten carts of baggage that Zhang Bao specially sent Wei Xiao to escort, he was not happy and shocked.

These ten carts are all carefully crafted from sturdy elm. Compared with the baggage trucks collected and used by the arrogant department along the way, it is like Audi to Alto.

However, it was the contents of these ten carts that were the source of the insolence.

Ten carts full, all of them are one thing.

Gold!

A pound of cake-shaped gold, a piece of gold bricks of ten pounds, piled up with carts!

"One car is two thousand gold. There are a total of 20,000 gold here. Do you want to count them? ”

Wei Xiao, who said this, his voice trembled a little. Although he regards money as leisure, he still can't be truly calm in front of 20,000 catties of gold. But not only him, but there is no one who sees with his own eyes the abundance of gold that is not moved.

However, if you think about it carefully, 20,000 catties of gold is a huge amount of money for individuals; But for a large army, it is not very useful.

20,000 catties of gold, at the standard price of the imperial court, is about 10,000 catties of gold. But the price of the government is already a matter of the pre-Han Dynasty. Since Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, the price of yellow scarves has risen all the way. If calculated according to the price of money in the market today, a catty is worth more than 20,000 yuan, and 20,000 catties is worth more than 40,000 yuan.

Forty thousand dollars, it sounds like a lot of scary, but in fact, it is really nothing to the gold-swallowing beast of the army.

Taking the Han army as an example, a soldier, regardless of his weapons and equipment, needs to spend about 10,000 five baht for food, clothing and housing just for a year. If you take into account the needs of the battle, the equipment and refurbishment of weapons and armor, and the maintenance cost of a soldier for a year, it will cost almost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan!

For 10,000 soldiers alone, a basic expense of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is needed a year. But if you take into account the army's salary, holiday rewards, and rewards for military exploits, it is only a 10,000-strong army and a year's maintenance costs.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, the Han army of 100,000 troops was mobilized to fight against the Xiongnu, which not only consumed the accumulated wealth of the previous Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, but also consumed the wealth of the entire Han people, and even reduced the household registration by nearly half. So much so that in his later years, Emperor Wu had to issue the "Edict of Guilt" to appease the resentment of the people of the government and the opposition against the Han family. This is evident in the consumption of wealth by the army. 1

Of course, for the Tianping Army, which currently has less than 2,000 people, 20,000 gold is still quite a lot of money. After Zhang Madness converted the price of 20,000 gold into brain compensation, he calmed down. Accustomed to the circulation of hundreds of millions or billions of currencies in later generations, Zhang Qi has developed a certain immunity to this large amount of wealth. The speed of his recovery made Wei Xiao, who was in charge of the delivery matters, secretly admire in his heart.

"The baggage has arrived." The earth will 'command, and you will go alone?' ”

The arrogance of the extremely uncalm mood asked absentmindedly:

"Who? Who do you want to go? ”

"Cheng Li, Cheng Zhongde."
